obama early voting in ohio. she running ahead but he running something like 180,000 votes behind what he did the last time out and republicans are running 70,000 ahead. that is 250,000 votes that would make up the difference that was obama's victory. i think both sides are probably correct. i don't think some of these pollsters are fixing the polls, but i do believe are weights in terms of what happened in 2008 which was an aberrational year. it looked to me mike romney was closing deal in florida and north carolina before the hurricane and beginning to close in virginia. ohio was still the difficult uphill battle. that may be the case right now. i think there may be honesty on both sides. we'll find out because there is a profound disagreement. >> you bring up the hurricane. 21 states have been impacted by sandy. it reminds me of a tennis match where there is a rain delay. when they come back out to the court, the momentum shifts. has that happed? >> i use another metaphor, tom, it's indianapolis. when i was ki

i think it's-- that is a mystery to me because mr. obama campaigned and actually that was a peared back proposal from earlier proposals which involved principal write-downs. and even john mccain when he was campaigning wanted to set up a government facility to buy the funds and restructure them. that's what tarp was supposed to be about. >> rose: why do you think they were not listening to that? >> i think at the bottom line, the philosophy was just focus on the big banks. focus on the big banks, make sure we have plenty of money. and hank pretty much says this in his book and i think the philosophy with larry summers was the same. if you recall, there was an allotment of dell 700 billion. they couldn't draw it down because nancy pelosi other ands had told them they need a loan modification program. when congress approved tarp, they thought they were approving troubled asset relief, the program to get the loans off the books of the banks and restructured. they had to say they had some kind of foreclosure program to get the second $350
